THE DU TV OF THE HOUR.
He.fore we go to press again, one of the
most exciting and noted political campaigns
in the history of the Ninth Congressional
District of Georgia will he decided by the
people at the ballot-hox. It. has been a con
test that will long he remembered ns the most
hitter; where the greatest friends have dis
agreed ; one abounding in personalities, and
where the truth has been most woefully and
basely perverted.
For the last three months it lias been the
absorbing topic. Orators and newspapers
have been busy exp'aining and arguing the
issues to the people. It has been the most
prominent theme of conversation of every
gathering; the whole people have
been aroused to an extent hitherto almost,
unknown. Many strange things have hap
pened in the contest. Democrats have been
called upon to hear honored institutions,
and men whom they have delighted to honor,
abused and denounced in the harshest terms.
They have seen men and newspapers trv to
arouse the people upon the color line ; efforts
have been made to arouse one class against
another. The newspapers have been filled
witli abuse against the regular nominee of the
Democratic party. Orators have uttered
charges to which they knew the lie had been
given. They have been called upon to listen
to the Independent candidate abuse and seek,
in every possible manner, to cast odium and
reproach upon his opponent—the candidate
of their choosing. These are but a few of the
tilings which have seen the daylight in this
contest, where men and not principles have
been discussed in this remarkable campaign
carrie 1 on within the ranks of the Democratic
party at a time when it needs all of its avail
able strength.
The campaign is about closed, and now it
remains for you, the sovereign people, to
stamp upon the result your seal of condemna
tion or approval of this method of carrying
on a political contest. It is for 3-011 to say,
at the ballot-box, whether in the future .this
state of affairs shall have an existence;
whether or not the newspapers and the orators
shall lie allowed to descend from the discus
sion of the true and legitimate issues before
the people, and occupy your time and atten
tion with scandal and s'anderous lies ; drag
before you the private life and persona! acts
of the opposing candidate.
This campaign will settle the question and
put a quietus upon this mode of warfare and
the Independent movement for ever in this
District. But if you are lulled into the idea
that no harm can come of voting the Inde
pendent ticket for this one time, you will give
a lease of life to one of the most dangerous
ideas that you could engraft upon the Demo
cratic party ; you will live to sec the day
when it will not down at your bidding, and
you will curse the day that 3-011 were weak
enough to be ied into the Independent move
ment.
Then, we appeal to you, as true Democrats,
not to let your better judgment be drowned
in your sympathy for an ambitious young
man. who would trample upon your party to
get into office, but stick to the faith of vour
fathers and forefathers. Think how they
would vote if they were here. Remember,
too, that our political salvation depends upon
the Democratic party, which has done so
much for Georgia and her sister States in the
past. Remember that when you vote the In
dependent ticket, you give our enemies occa
sion to rejoice in the fact that we are a house
divided against itself.
We ask 3-011, in all candor, what can you
gain l>y opposing the old party—the best
friend 3-011 have ? For our part, we can see
nothing to be gained by such a course. You
arc onl\- the tools of designing ambition, who
will use \-<>u for the hour, and when von have
ended 3-011 r unhallowed and murderous at
tempt,. you will have to again seek shelter
within the very part}- whom you arc now try
ing to destroy.
Then, Democrats, to the breach, in this our
time of need. Trove true to yourselves and
your country. Show to the Republican party
and our enemies that we will not allow dis
cord and dissensions within our own ranks to
be the occasion of our defeat.
The mission of our party is great. It has
a future before it which is no less than bring
ing peace, prosperity and brotherly love to
the whole Union. Would you, then, be the
occasion of our defeat ? or would you willing
ly mar. this great future bv your private ani
mosities ? We appeal to you to stand by the
old'ship in this her hour of need. Don't de
stroy her usefulness but. united and alto
gether,, we wilt embaikviipon her broad deck,
and triumphantly ride into a haven of safety,
and enter upon a oourse ’of prosperity and
happiness.
Maj VV. E Simmons’ Letter.
V e regret that the crowded state of our
columns debars ns of the pleasure of publish
ing this letter. We would do so solely for
t.iie purpose of vindicating himself an 1 the
Gwinnett county Grand Jury from the charge
of political persecution, which has been laid
at their door.
Mr. Simmons, in his letter, not only shows
that he had nothing to do with the action of
the Grand Jury, but goes farther and entirely
exonerates the gentlemen of that body from
presenting the same from anv base motive.
This. too. is corroborated by the Gwinnett
Herald, which gives the true history of the
presentment. From this it appears that the
preliminary steps were taken some time ago
to have this matter settled, and that the last
Grand Jury were compelled to report the re
sult of an investigation that had been ordered
over a year ago by their predecessors, and we
have not yet heard the motives of this former
Grand Jury questioned.
We are tnil) r glad that the Democracy of
Gwinnett count}’ can clear themselves so
satisfactorily of this grave charge, for, as the
case now stands, they only followed then
sworn duty, and to have done otherwise would
have laid them liable for a neglect of their
sworn duty.
This relieves the Democratic party from
the least suspicion of unfairness, or of --stoop
ing to Conquer." Our banner now floats
triumphantly in the air, unsullied an 1 untar
nished, and we trust will remain so to the
end.
Another European War.
The latest dispatches from across the wa
ter brings us the startling intelligence that
another war is inevitable. This time it will
he between England and Russia, with some
of the smaller nations on each side. This
event has been predicted for some time, but
the cloud has darkened considerably of late.
Already England lias an army in the field
against some of her East India subjects, who,
instigated ly- Russian agents, have been led
to revolt. Besides, every day shows that the
Berlin treaty is an utter failure; that its
terms cannot he carried out is patent to ail,
and obstacles are being daily thrown in its
way. In the event that war is declared be
tween these two nations, we of the United
States, and more especially of the South, will
suffer. Indeed, it is reasonable to presume
that the low price of cotton now can he traced
to this as one of its principal causes.
The only hope for peace is the intervention
of Germany again. So far, wo have heard of
no efforts in that direction. Should these two
nations go to war, it would he one of some
duration, and terrible in its magnitude. The
result no one can tell, as it would prostrate
all industries to such an extent that it would
take years to regain the position both nations
now occupy.
—Col. Billups has got his back up !
—The news is indeed cheering from the
mountains.
—Col. Billups evidently used to speak for
prizes at school, too. lie is no mean ora
tor.
—The crowd here last week was very quiet.
i'he reason is, because they were all for Bil
ups.
—Col. Billups’ vindication here last week
was complete. Start your slander mill to
grinding again ; it makes votes for the De
mocracy.
—The Southron talks plain to Gordon for
speaking in this District, and threatens him
with defeat, and yet invites him back to speak
again.
—Col. Billups made a big speech at Mays
ville on Tuesday of last week. All the crowd
was for him, and it was almost as big as the
one at Mr. Frank Harrison’s.
—The Watchman complains of Mr. Speer's
treatment in Madison. This will be a setoff
to the treatment a crowd up in the moun
tains gave Col. Cary W. Styles.
The Athens Watch man don’t think Ben
Hill ought to condemn what he did himself.
It forgets that Emory Speer cannot do every
thing that Ben does.
You cannot make the Independent be
lieve that, he is hurting the party. Neither
can you make him see the difference between
Ben Hill's race and Emory's.
—Who could please an Independent?—
They neither want a man with a war record
to speak to them, and they will not vote for a
man without he has one. So, what will we
do ?
—The Athens Watchman don't like our
Ben's letter. Friend Clayton, you just put
this in your pipe and smoke it. Ben never
fails to get on the right side before trouble
comes.
—The most inconsistent part of the affair
is that the Independents want the organized
Democracy outside of tbe Ninth to stand by
calmly and not lift a helping hand to their
friends who are fighting the battles of true
Democracy.
—The rumor that Emory Speer has retired
from the canvass in the Ninth, is probably
untrue. And yet. he might as well retire.—
Atlanta Constitution.
No, he prefers to be retired by the people,
on the sth of this month.
—lf the Independents don't look sharp
they will, in the near future, have to call a
Convention to see who shall be their candi
date for Governor. So far, Felton has the
inside track, but Bob Toombs is making some
mighty fair bids for that honor himself.
Ben Hill talks against Emory Speer be
cause be is afraid that if he is elected lie will
defeat him for Senator.— Gainesville South
ron.
A renude contingency indeed. But there
is no telling what will happen. Emory tried
to take a short cut on him in 187,5.
—The Athens Watchman tries to offset the
force of Gordon's speaking and Ben Hill's
letter by giving extracts from Bob Toombs.
Bro. Clayton, when yon want to get the senti
ments of the big men on 3*oll r side, get those
who have the support and confidence of the
people to write for your man.
—Emory Speer says he is as true a Demo
crat as there is in the District, and that lie
would not wilfully do the part}- harm. Now,
as to the question whether his candidacy in
this District is doing it harm, we leave such
men as Hill and Gordon to decide. They
are surely guided only by their desire for the
party's good.
XIAVS or THE WEEK.
The Times' Berlin dispatch say3 that it is
expected in Russia that if the English occu
py the South of Afghanistan that Russians
will occupy the north.
A Renter's St. Petersburg dispatch says
that the Russian general of staff has had prin
ted several thousand copies of anew Afghan-
Russian dictionary for the use of army offi
cers.
London, Get. 28.— A special dispatch to
the Times from Darjeeling says that it is ex
pected a proclamation of war against the
ameer of Afghanistan will be gazetted short
ly, specifying in full, the reasons which de
cided the government to declare war.
New Okleaxs, Oct. 2i).—A heavy rain is
falling this morning. Fifty-two new cases
and ten deaths in the past twenty-four hours,
footing up to date 13,002 cases and 3,004
deal hs.
Richmond. Oct. 30.—The fair of the Vir
ginia State Agricultural Society commenced
yesterday. The exhibition is equal to any
of former years. Among the exhibitors are
many from the Northern States. — Special to
the Constitution,
Macon, Ga., Oct. 20.—The State Fair
opened yesterday. The stock display is the
largest ever seen in the Stale. All the de
partments are fully represented. Indica
tions are that the attendants will he unprece
dented. The races will begin to-morrow and
will he very fine. About eight horses have
been entered.
St. PETHRsnirito. Oct. 20. —The Globe says
that if the Russian people were consulted
they would unhesitatingly decide for a renew
al of the struggle. Despite the expedients
of diplomacy to arrest the natural cause of
historical development, it is evident that the
inevitable crisis in the Eastern question has
arrived. There is no apparent prospect of
completing the organization of the Balkan
peninsula on a basis of humanit}- and justice
without a fresh war.
Macon. Oct. 2!). —The rain lessened the
attendance at the State Fair to-day. The
track was heavy and in the first race, run
ning. best two in three. Whirlwind won two
straight heats with Nellie Morton second.—
Bitne: 1:54j. The second race, trotting,
best three in five, Kimball Jackson took three
heats and the race ; Spider, second ; best
tune, 2 : 48. The third race, trotting, Gracie
0., first; Billy King, second ; Kittie F., third ;
BuJ'alo Bill, distanced ; best time, 2 :35].
St. Loris, Oct. 30. —The national relief
boat. Chambers, arrived yesterday morning.
The officers and crew are all well. LietUen
ait Hall says the suffering of the peoplte in
tie little towns on the river bank and a few
miles back is very great and demands imme
diate attention. In some places he says the
neople are almost starving, fond being very
scarce and crops very scant. The people can
lie easily reached now. the quarantine being
raised. —Special to the Constitution.
London, Out. 20. —The Pull Mai | Ga
zette editorial I y declares that the t reaty of Ber
lin is a failure, that it will he impossible, to
arrive at a pacific solution on its lines, an I
the sooner this fact is realized, the better.—
Fence must be commanded by commanding
the arrest of the reckless power which has
kept Europe in commotion for years past and
now threatens to break away from all law and
all restraint. If this is only to be done in
concert, and concert is a give and take mat
ter. for the benefits of which all parties must
pay something, it follows that wo should not
shrink from any price in reason.
Giufkin, Ga.. Oct. 28. A fire here last
night destroyed the large mill of J. A. & W.
M. Becks. The property was uninsured, and
the loss is about SIO,OOO. The tire is sup
posed to have been the work of an inuindia
r}-, though a few imagine the cause to have
been frow spontaneous combustion. A wool
carding machine was in the mill, and the
knowing ones imagine it must have ignited in
some way through the above agency. The
mill was one of the finest and most valuable
in the State, and the loss is not only severe
on the owners, but tlie entire community are
losers. Connected with the mill was a large
gin and press. Some twentv-five bales of cot
ton or more were consumed.
A special from Vienna to the Independent
Behje of Brussel, says : England has address
ed a protest to Russia against her non-execu
tion of the treaty of Berlin ; but the Times .
in a leading article, while admitting that the
time has come when some step must be taken,
thinks the collective representation of the
Towers will be most effectual and believes
France. Austria and Germany will not hesi
tate to unite with England in protecting the
provisions of the treaty. The Manchester
Guardian publishes a statement showing that
about sixty percent, of the looms and spin
dles in the Lancashire and Cheshire districts
are stopped or are working on short time. —
Twelve Austrian officers left Vienna yester
day for Tehe ran, to reorganize the Persian
army on the model of the Austrian army.
A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says
it has now transpired that a strong Russian
force was concentrated on Bakhara frontier
until the close of the Berlin Congress in read
iness to enter Afghanistan. A Vienna dis
patch to the Times says : “It is reported that
the Russians are far from res'nming their re
treat on Adrianople, and are rcoccnpying the
places which they have evacuated, especially
lveshan, near the gulf of Saros.”
